Just purchased canon 5d iv. I have no lenses yet and a $1500 budget for lenses. i shoot mostly portrait and landscape.

I am doing full frame on a budget. So I went looking for one lens to add to my recently purchased 5D MK II and 50 f1.8.

With help from members here and a lot of research I ended up buying a Tokina AT-X 24-70mm f/2.8 PRO FX. B&H had it on sale at $619 instead of $950 new. What I gathered was that it is highly rated. Some say better than the first version canon 24-70 F2.8 but not quite as good as the version II. Let me tell you This lens is wicked good. The sharpness is incredible if you do your part While not a problem for me, I had no idea how big a 24-70 F2.8 lens is until I got it in the mail. It dwarfs the canon 24-105 in size and weight
Again this was not a problem for me. Additional this Tokina is built like a tank. Read the reviews online

Hello, I've been away for 3 weeks or so on a trip to Europe. First off, it is not necessary to buy "new" lenses for your Mark IV at this time. The suggestion for the 24-105 is sound advice for a all round walk-about lens. Also, consider other brands, like Tamron, and Sigma. I personally would look for a used Tamron 24-70mm, and a used Canon 70-200mm f2.8L Mark II. Look for these lenses at Adorama, B&H, and don't forget KEH, they specialize in used equipment, and give a 6 month warranty.

Not sure if you're going to get 2 lenses for that price. With close to a $3,000 body you want in Canon terms, an "L" quality lens. don't go cheap just to get two. The Canon EF 24–105mm f/4L IS II USM Lens about a grand will do both portrait and landscape. While primes have their place, they can be very restrictive if you can't move you feet.

Good luck. FWIW I have 5DIII and the 24-105 and use it 80% of the time. Just enough wide and just enough zoom especially when you are going someplace and no idea of the terrain.
